    1. [TXHUNT-L] From "Our Town This Week..." 1965

    3. >From "Our Town This Week. . . ." All the Pierce family, Mrs. Josie Pierce's, was home for the day last Sunday, the Wesley Pierces from Sherman and Short (Elizabeth Paschal) and Jonnye Joe from Dallas. Wesley will leave this next Sunday for his work in Australia where he has been with engineering work for the government for over a year. He and his family came home about September 1. Rosie said the four boys are settled in their home in Sherman. Walter, the one-year Perth Australia University student, is now attending North Texas University, Denton. John is a Sherman High School senior. The other one, the blond that looks like Wesley, is some where in upper grades or senior, and the five-year old is around! Rosa takes care of everything, including a new dog acquired in Australia. There is something quite exceptional about the dog that the boys told me, but not taking it down, (it was at the Celeste Homecoming), I can't report now. But it will get later billing LLL Somewhat coincidental with the arrival of the Pierce family, during the same week another Celeste family came home from the opposite side of the world from Australia. The Billy J. Norris, S/SGT Billy J. Norris, wife Patsy (Lyday), and children, Johnny Mack Norris (13), Dorothy Sue Norris (8), William Keith Norris (5), Debra Lynn Norris (3), Charles Ray Norris (2), and James Patrick Norris (seven months), came from Semback, German where Bill had been stationed with the Air Force for four years. And another interesting thing, they, too, chose Sherman for a home and the children are in school there as Norris is stationed at Perrin Field. He has fourteen years in the service. Patsy joined Billy in Germany six months after he went over. They have added two children to the four she corralled on the flight over alone three and one-half years ago.
